Alquemie is the medieval French spelling of alchemy—the seemingly magical process of transformation or creation. The stitch patterns of both the scalloped border and the eyelet lace body are completely reversible, allowing the cowl to transform into many different looks depending on how you choose to drape it around the neck and which side you decide is “up.”

Alquemie is worked in the round, starting with the scalloped bottom border. The size is easily customized. While directions, dimensions and yardage are provided for DK weight, Alquemie could effectively be worked in other yarn weights. Fingering weight or heavier is recommended.

The Alquemie pattern includes both charts and full written out instructions for those of you who prefer not to use charts.
